After 13 games, the balances have not changed all that much.
CSKA has now the best offence of the league.
Barca still has the best defence.
Milano's offence is on a free-fall...
So the advice remains the same in general:
Bet on players that play against Real, Malaga, Zalgiris.
Stay away from those who play against Barca, Unics, Siena.
Also choose players from Real, CSKA, also now Siena and Olympiakos are looking good.
From PAO and Barca I would not suggest many players, as they tend to have excellent rotations with the whole team sharing scoring and value equally. Exceptions could be Diamantidis and Lorbek.

Best Offence:
Real Madrid, with its Run and Gun play. Defensively though its pretty bad there...

Best Defence:
Barca... what can we say. They kept their opponent under 60 points on average while scoring 79.3 in the offence...

What this means for fantasy?
Bet on players that play against Real, Malaga, Zalgiris and Fener.
Stay away from those who play against Barca, Unics, Siena.
Also choose players from Real, CSKA, Malaga and Maccabi.
From PAO and Barca I would not suggest many players, as they tend to have excellent rotations with the whole team sharing scoring and value equally. Exceptions could be Diamantidis and Lorbek.
